Question

The present age of Rupak's mother is three times the present age of Rupak. After 5 years their ages will add up to 58 years. Find the present age of Rupak.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Rupak's present age be x and Rupak's mother age be 3x.

After 5 years,

Rupak's age will be x+5

and,his mother's age will be 3x+5.

A.T.Q,

(x+5)+(3x+5) = 58

or, x+5+3x+5 = 58

or, 4x+10 = 58

or, 4x = 58-10

or, 4x = 48

or, x = 48/4

or, x = 12.

So, present age of Rupak is 12
